ok, you live in SJ...
Drive past the train station (it will be on your right) about 1/2 mile up you go under a bridge...hotel on right... Then after that..there are about five or six on that street...motels...cheap ones... I stayed in the one by the bridge for 75 per night last time...its a motel..no frills... If that is what I get,,,ok, but 19.99 is more like it..I saw signs..just cant remember the names..they werenot chains.. Rich |

Don't know the names of the places, but there are a few inexpensive-looking motels north and south of the intersection of Monterey Road and Alma - map attached. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=Monter...27,0.046692&t=h |

You DON'T want to stay there... |

Flop houses in San Jose - the Capital of Silicon Valley and home to the San Jose Grand Prix? Impossible! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Rich did ask for a cheap location, I'm sure the doors lock at night and these were the only ones that came to my mind since I drive by there occasionally (no, not looking for "dates"). |

Not another one! Group: Benefactors Posts: 4,526 Joined: 1-March 04 From: San Mateo, CA Member No.: 1,743  |
Beware that a number of the really cheap places here are extreme fleabags. Lumpy doesn't even begin to describe the bed, and you always have to worry that your stuff will still be there when you return. Real estate in the Bay Area is sky-high, so cheap is relative. Even Motel 6 charges $50-60 a night in expensive areas.

Chimp Sanctuary NW. Check it out. Group: Members Posts: 22,079 Joined: 2-March 03 From: Orion's Bell. The BELL! Member No.: 378 Region Association: Galt's Gulch |
i realize you're on a budget rich...the prune yard was top shelve during the wcc04'. distancing yourself from the sj, cambell area is going to put you in a traffic nightmare (imho). if you figure what you're paying for a room, and have to get up real early, sit in traffic (both ways), you'll save yourself the headache. the local ammenities factor in for me. lots of choises within walking distance to the p.y. the far more than continental breakfast is a $10 saving per day.

There is no such thing as a cheap hotel in S.J. The most reasonable ( without waking up with a pimp banging on your door and demanding payment for services rendered) Expect to pay 65-75 and consider your self lucky. They did a study a few years ago and determined that 80k was poverty level in the bay area. So, If you opt for a job, make sure that it is worth it $$ wise. What ever you were making where you live now, add 100,000k to maintain the same life style. I lived in Foster City and worked in the Bay area. Good luck! It is a beautiful place to live and there are a lot of great 914 peeps there. |

Rich, if you don't mind beagles (and their hair), you can crash at Brian and my place for the night. We're very close to where highway 85 and 87 intersect. The light rail station is about a 2 minute walk from our door, and it'll take you right to the McHenry Convention Center. We might have plans for Feb. 14th, but that's about it.
I've never met you, but you've been a presence here long enough for me to feel comfortable with offering you a place to crash. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) After all, that's what this club's about, right? Making friends and helping them out. Jen |
